Rural communties are a particular interest of mine. I teach in the Theology Faculty at Queen's University and I direct the Rural Ministry Programme there. One course in which I am involved is an Interdisciplinary one involving the Faculty of Health Sciences, Education, and Theology at Queen's; the course brings together students from six different disciplines, and its purpose is to help prepare these students to live and to practice their particular profession in a rural area.

I am a physiotherapist with many years experience both clinically and academically. One of my areas of interest, work and teaching/research experience have focussed on Community Based Rehabilitation and rural/remote communities.
